Superlative collection of papers on the historiography of the War by distinguished contributors, covering a whole gamut of ground to explain how the modern perception of it has been reached, how the 'Historical Foundations' were laid by Liddell Hart, Edmonds & their contemporaries; how in 'The Battle of the Memoirs' politicians & generals slogged it out in war & after; how the long dispute between Kitchener & French was carried on long after both were dead; how Haig's reputation has fared & much more of inestimable value for an understanding of the war & informed appreciation of the literature.
